Who are we?

is a Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Cardiff University. He was an undergraduate, graduate, doctorate and post-doctorate at the University of Oxford, St John's College since 2004 and thought it was about time to leave in 2017.

He specialises in mathematical biology and focuses on the pattern formation behind fish spots and zebra stripes. He also researches mathematical models of stem cells movement. The hope is that by understanding how stem cells move we can influence them and, thus, speed up the healing process.

When not doing mathematics he is a keen participant in mathematical outreach workshops and has given a variety of popular maths lectures nationally and internationally. He has previously worked for the BBC, illustrated Marcus du Sautoy’s book, "The Number Mysteries"; set questions for the popular maths show “Dara O’Briains school of hard sums” and helped redesign the the London Science Museum's Mathematics Gallery.
